I'm so sorry for your losses. *hugs*

I know exactly how you feel. After one miscarriage, I was scared enough. Now I've had 3, and as much as I want to be pregnant again, I'm scared to death.

I just have to trust God that no matter what happens, everything will be OK.

Always. I don' think there is one person on here who would say that the thought of another miscarriage doesn't scare them.

After you have a loss, I don't think you look at pregnancy in the same doe eyed way ever again, because you know the reality that not all positive pregnancy tests result in healthy full term babies.

Honestly, I find it very hard to join any of the TTC groups. I've gone in on a few, but I never end up staying - It's too hard for me right now.

I was very afraid. After 2 miscarriages, I got pregnant with my son. It was so soon after miscarriage number 2 also. I feel like I did not have a "normal" pregnancy because I was always so scared that I was going to bleed and then after 12 weeks, I was afraid that his heart would stop beating. I rented a doppler and I used it almost every night to make me feel better. I would be scared when I wouldn't feel him move and I would do things on purpose to get him to move in the womb. It was like a dream when he was born. It took a little while for me to "wake up" and realize that he was born and healthy and a true miracle. Good luck to both of you. There are a lot of tears for us TTC but when you finally get your little miracle- it is so sweet!

It is terrifying, to say the least! There are so many success stories around here, though, that I looked around for inspiration when I needed it. Wherever you draw your strength, just keep going back for more in those moments. My two full-term pregnancies were amazing experiences, but they could never be like the average person's pregnancy, worry-free and assuming the best. We can try, but we already know what *can* happen, so our thoughts take us all over the place! (((Hugs))) Good luck to you!

I too am scared. I didn't have any misscarriages (knock on wood) but I did have a stillbirth with no answers as to why. We are going to try again hopefully in 2wks, and I am so excited to hopefully be pregnant again but I am so scared. And I know once I do get pregnant it will be the most stressful time in my life. I will be so nervous to get to where I lost my son, and then a wreck after that to the end. I will probably be admitted at 25 wks to monitor their heartbeat, Which I am ok with, but I too am a wreck. I guess we just have to keep our chins up and be helpful that we will get our babies and they will be healthy. I am so sorry for your losses.

I'm so sorry for your losses. No words can ever make the hurt go away.

I too am super scared of ttca. 2 wks ago we found out that out baby had stopped growing. When we got home from the doc's appt that day, I was ready to go on BCP, and not ever ttc again. I know my emotions were still pretty fresh, and it was not the time to make any harsh decisions. I was so furious w/God, that he could do this again, after we've waited for it to happen for so long. Now, after the hormones have settled down alittle, I realize that he does have a plan, and we are going to be parents some day, but when he wants us to.
It sounds like you have very strong faith...truly an inspiration! We just have to hang in there, we all will have healthy babies.

I was scared when I had brown spotting or any color in the book before. Or any kind of pressure pain. So I can only imagine now what is gonna happen when I get pregnant again.

Nikki-I also find it hard to be in ttc groups. I feel so envious of being in the postion to be charting, waiting to O. But after 3wks from the d & c Im still bleeding so waiting is for me.

But I want to get pregnant so bad again. But deep down inside Im so terrified.

I'm terrified! I know that if I get pregnant again I am going to be a nervous wreck the entire pregnancy. I was a wreck my first pregnancy and I also rented a doppler at 12 weeks and checked for a heartbeat daily. That was before I had even had a miscarriage so I can't imagine the train wreck I am going to be the next time!

i just posted on a 40+ board on this topic... scared about not getting pg, scared about m/c again if i do get pg...

it's scary stuff.

there's a ttc after a loss thread here somewhere -- great support. and if/when you do get pg again there is a similar pg after a loss thread.

i think everyone has fears.. the question is how you respond/react to them.

i found it hard to believe at the time, but time does help some.

most of all... there aren't any right/wrong answers, and you can change your mind at any point (either for trying again, putting it on hold, or deciding to be done).

hugs,
-tia

I'm scared too. My two pregnancies so far have been difficult due to gestational diabetes starting early. Both times my life has just been taken over by it - testing blood sugars 7 times a day (including at 2am) and then the insulin injections. I know my hormones are still settling down from the MC at the beginning of September - but I am finding it really (really) hard to concentrate at work. I guess you have to be an actor for a little while? Anyone got any advice on how to cope at work? I want to try again and know I don't have all the time in the world (at 37) but how do you cope with the fear?

I am beyond scared, but more scared not to. If I have to go through more miscarriages, then I want to get them overwith. I just want to see that little plus sign on the pregnancy test, and after that pray that I get to see my baby smiling and laughing and growing.

I am just so scared that it wont happen, ever.
